Mackmyra Preludium 03 has been awarded a Silver medal (Best in Class) at the International Wine and Spirit Competition (IWSC), one of the biggest competitions of its kind in the world.

Mackmyra Svensk Whisky took its place at this year’s IWSC with three different bottlings. The third issue in the Preludium range, Mackmyra Preludium:03, was awarded a Silver medal (Best in Class). The two other bottlings at the event also won prizes: Mackmyra Preludium:04 and a bottled Mackmyra Reserve were awarded Silver medals

“This is proof once more that our young whisky is maintaining a high quality,” says Magnus Dandanell, MD and one of the founders of Mackmyra Svensk Whisky. “This is the second time that one of our whiskies has won a Best in Class silver medal at the IWSC.”

Preludium:03 - Sherry and Swedish Smoke is the third issue in the Mackmyra Preludium range. The basic flavour of Preludium:03 comprises Swedish malt whisky matured in sherry casks, spiced with Mackmyra’s special recipe smoked over a juniper and peat fire.
